yes I fell in love with it after 200 meters of driving. everything felt tight with a nice smooth gear change. no, he didn't sort out things he said he was going to. not happy about that after 270 miles drive but we did renegotiate price. if you see my post on technical forum you will see my main priority to get fixed:) I do remember an earlier post by Che that aircon is just one more thing to go wrong:) again thanks for all your help Paul!
